Join political leader, columnist and bestselling author Steve Phillips and local civic organizations for a discussion on race, elections, and how our modern day dilemmas are an extension of a fight that dates back to the Civil War.
In his new book, How We Win the Civil War, Phillips warns that the Confederates never really stopped fighting the Civil War, that conservatives are taking full advantage of this reality, and that those in denial imperil our democracy.
With his trademark blend of political analysis and historical argument, Phillips lays out razor-sharp prescriptions, from increasing voter participation and demolishing racist immigration policies to reviving the Great Society programs of the 1960s—all of them geared toward strengthening a new multiracial democracy and ridding our politics of white supremacy, once and for all.
The event features an interview with Phillips, audience Q&A, and opportunities to get engaged with local civic organizations, working to create a multiracial democracy that works for all of us.
This event is co-hosted by local civic organizations – the Washington Women’s Foundation, Progress Alliance of Washington, and Social Venture Partners Seattle
